Heavyweight contender Calvin "Boxing Banker" Brock is dealing with an eye injury which could curtail his boxing career, boxingconfidential.com has learned.

Brock, a Charlotte, NC, resident who turns age 33 on Jan. 22, has known about the eye injury for about three weeks and has sought treatment and guidance from ophtamologists.

Which eye is injured and the exact nature -- be it a detached retina or something else -- is unclear. Boxingconfidential will provide more details as they become available.

I reached out to Don Tremblay at Kathy Duva's promotional firm Main Events and asked if the company would have a statement, correction or further information as to this breaking story. I got a quick but terse reply from the able Tremblay which said, "No, we don't."

A pro since 2001, Brock owns a pro record of 31-2 with 23 KOs. He failed in a try for the IBF heavyweight title against Wladimir Klitschko 13 months ago. Brock was stopped in seven rounds at Madison Square Garden by Klitschko.

Brock came back this year to beat Ralph West and Alex Gonzalez but then dropped a close, 12-round split decision to rising and unbeaten contender Fast Eddie Chambers.

Brock is managed and trained by his father, Calvance Brock, and remains under the promotional aegis of Main Events.
